I Am A Big Defender

What I Remember When I Started To Write Was How I Couldn't Wait To Get Up In The Morning To Get To My Characters.

No Place Has Delicatessen Like New York.

Censors Never Go After Books Unless Kids Already Like Them. I Don’t Even Think They Know To Go After Books Until They Know That Children Are Interested In Reading This Book, Therefore There Must Be Something In It That’s Wrong.

I Meet People On The Street Or At Book Signings And They Tend To Treat Me As If They Know Me, As If We're Connected. It's Great.

That's My Anxiety Dream. I Go To The Library And All The Books On My Subject Are Out.
